Steve,
It looks as if you may be staying and the only thing bad about you staying is this: That 25K cherrypicking d*@khead rook pony just might be you!!
However, the plus side is that I too liked the old icon range setup, it sorta makes up for the lack of real depth perception - i mean throw in a momentary freeze-frame or just a second of lag and if you werent sure of your closure rate going into the freeze, you are screwed without the benefit of a reacharound. I have never been 100% satisfied with any game going back to '93 or '94 when I first started playing RedBaron on INN (Imagination Network) But I always found a way to have fun and work around the problems I may have had with the game I was playing, at least until something better came along.
I have always felt that it is easier to make changes and pool support for those changes from the inside rather than the outside. The realism guys can be a bit hardcore on some things, me I like to come home from work, Drink a beer, kill a few people, blow up stuff, then return to my peaceful existence. Realism and scores don't matter
AS MUCH as having fun and blowing off a little steam.
Of interest though, the new gunnery model... people are saying that it is tougher - I can't agree with that - or it could be that I suck so badly that the new model works great for me! I am definitely getting more kills than in AH1 and landing them. My stats are not impressive by any means, that is for sure, but I know that I am getting and landing more kills. I prefer to think that I was just getting ripped off before!
So, to Steve and anyone else who is trying to tough it out with the rest of us - good luck & good hunting!
